SELF-CLINCHING STUDS AND PINS
PEM self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove creating a flushhead assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances. FH (flush-head) studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel (See page FH-5). They are also available unthreaded on special order (See page FH-12). FH4 & FHP (flush-head) Studs for Stainless Steel are designed to provide strong threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .040 / 1 mm. Type FHP studs have high corrosion resistance. Both types are designed for use in stainless steel sheets with a hardness of 92 or less on the Rockwell B scale (See page FH-6). FHL (flush low-displacement head) Studs install closer to the edge of a sheet than PEM Types FH/FHS studs without causing that edge to bulge (See page FH-7). TFH (non-flush) Studs are for sheets as thin as .020 inches / 0.51 mm. They may also be used in thicker sheets where flush head studs are not required. TFH studs are installed in the sheets in the same manner as flush-head studs; however, different punches and anvils are required. When installed, the TFH stud will be securely locked into the thin sheet with ample torque-out and pushout resistances. The stud head will not be flush but will project above the sheet surface approximately .025 in. / 0.64 mm (See page FH-8). HFE (heavy-duty) Studs are designed with an enlarged head diameter which projects above the sheet material and provides maximum pull through in sheets as thin as .040 / 1 mm (See page FH-9). HFH (heavy-duty) Studs replace weld studs with easier installation at lower costs. The large stud head which projects above the sheet material distributes the axial tightening force over a large area thereby improving pull through resistance (See page FH-10). HFHB (heavy-duty BUSBAR) Studs are ideal for applications which demand superior electrical/mechanical attachment points. Phosphor bronze studs offer twice the conductivity of carbon steel studs (See page FH-10). HFG8 and HF109 (heavy-duty high tensile strength) Studs are manufactured for the most demanding applications from medium carbon alloy steel, then heat-treated to high strength and hardness qualities (See page FH-11). TPS, TP4, and TPXS (flush-head) Pilot Pins satisfy a wide range of positioning, pivot, and alignment applications. The chamfered end makes mating hole location easy (See page FH-13). Dog Point and Anti Cross-Thread Options (See page FH-4). Material and finish specifications (See page FH-14). Installation (See pages FH-14 through FH-19).

OPTIONAL MAThread ANTI CROSS-THREAD FEATURE

PennEngineering is a licensee of MAThread Anti Cross-Threading Technology. This unique design allows the threads to self-align and drive easily with reduced effort. This helps speed assembly, reduce or eliminate failures, repairs, scrap, downtime, and warranty service associated with thread damage. This option is available on most types of PEM studs.
Heres how it works:
Misaligned Axis The anti cross-threading design offers users the benefit of self-aligning, anti cross-threading threads.
Anti Cross-Thread Feature
Threads Cam As the threads come into contact, the patented anti cross-thread begins to cam over the female thread.
Threads Drive Normally The anti cross-threads promote alignment of the two thread helixes. The fasteners drive easily with reduced effort.
MAThread is a registered trademark of MAThread inc.
OPTIONAL THREAD MASK

PEM Blu-Coat thread mask is available for applications where hardware is installed prior to painting. During assembly, the threads of the mating hardware will remove paint, electro deposited automotive under coatings, and weld spatter upon application of torque. PEM studs can be specially ordered with thread mask applied.
BC suffix will be added to part number to designate Blu-Coat thread mask to fastener.

INSTALLATION - TYPES FH/FHS/FHA, FHL/FHLS, TFH/TFHS AND HFE THREADED STUDS

PEM brand self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheet material and squeezing them into place with any standard press. All that is required is a flat or recessed punch and an anvil having a hole to clear the thread diameter so that force is applied between the top of the stud head and underside of the sheet material. The squeezing action forces the ribs of the stud into the sheet, displacing sheet material, causing it to fill the annular groove under the head of the stud. The following information provides specifics with regard to stud installation.
All dimensions are in inches. All dimensions are in millimeters.

INSTALLATION - TYPE FH/FHS/FHA THREADED STUDS
The illustrations below indicate suggested tooling for applying installation forces. In most cases, when using sheets .060 / 1.51 mm and thicker, the anvil requires only a straight thru hole to accommodate the stud (see illustrations below for details). For sheets less than .060 / 1.51 mm, the hole requires a countersink with dimension A at the top to provide for metal flow around the shank of the stud.
Tooling for sheet thicknesses less than .060 / 1.51 mm with #2 thru #10 / M3 thru M5 thread sizes and less than .093 / 2.4 mm for 1/4 / M6 threads. Tooling for sheet thicknesses .060 / 1.51 mm and greater with #2 thru #10 / M3 thru M5 thread sizes and .093 / 2.41 mm and greater for 1/4 and 5/16 / M6 and M8 threads.

INSTALLATION - TYPES FH4 AND FHP STUDS FOR STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS
For Type FH4 and FHP studs, a special anvil with a raised ring is required to create a proper installation. The raised ring acts as a second displacer of the stainless sheet material, thereby ensuring that the annular groove is filled. Please see page FH-6 for recommended sheet thickness range. The special anvils are available from PEM stock or can be machined from suitable tool steel. A hardness of HRC 55 / HB 547 minimum is required to provide long anvil life. We recommend measuring the P dimension every 5000 installations to ensure that the anvil remains within specification.

In most cases, when using sheets .060 / 1.51 mm and thicker, the anvil requires only a straight thru hole to accommodate the pin (see illustrations below for details). For sheets less than .060 / 1.51 mm, the hole requires a countersink with dimension A at the top to provide for metal flow around the shank of the pin.
Tooling for sheet thicknesses less than .060/ 1.52 mm with 073 thru 173 / 3mm thru 5mm pin diameter codes and for sheet thicknesses less than .093 / 2.36mm with 207 thru 223 pin diameter codes. Tooling for sheet thicknesses greater than .060 / 1.52mm with 073 thru 173 / 3mm thru 5mm pin diameter codes and for sheet sheet thicknesses greater than .093 / 2.36mm with 207 thru 281 pin diameter codes.

The values reported here pertain only to the holding power of the stud to the sheet into which it is installed. These values in no way pertain to the axial strength of the threads, allowable tightening torque or design loading of an assembly. The values reported are anticipated destructive averages when all installation specifications and procedures are followed. When properly installed, PEM self-clinching studs should perform better than the values given here.

(1) Performance values shown are typical for fasteners properly installed using raised ring tooling in good condition. We recommend replacing installation tooling when the height of the P (see page FH-15) dimension is reduced to .005 / 0.13 mm due to wear. Reductions in performance may occur as the height of the protrusion wears. Variations in hole preparation, installation force, and sheet material type, thickness, and hardness will affect both performance and tooling life. PennEngineering www.pemnet.com
